"Oh, good!" said the nurse practitioner conducting my annual wellness check when I mentioned that I was recently retired. "Maybe getting these screenings done won't be too inconvenient for you."
Her list was extensive: mammogram, bone density, thyroid, dermatologist, eye doctor, and colonoscopy, with an optional CAT scan for plaque. And really? Are any of those tests ever actually "convenient"? However, I can schedule them without delay or consideration for conflict.
"Just think!" she added. "Your wellness can be a retirement project!"
